Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman will reprise their roles from the first movie alongside Butler, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Katrin Benedikt and Creighton Rothenberger are also returning to pen the movie's script, although Olympus Has Fallen director Antoine Fuqua will not be back for the second movie.

Olympus Has Fallen made $98.9m (£61.6m) in the US and $62.1m (£38698794) overseas during its release earlier in the year.

There is no word yet when production on the sequel will begin. Butler is also currently in negotiations to star in The Raven.
